Program Description

Event Details

In celebration of Deaf Awareness Month, Marlee Matlin shares the highs and lows of her Hollywood career and journeys as an activist. The youngest recipient of the Best Actress Oscar, Matlin’s acting career recently achieved another milestone as her film CODA swept every category in which it was nominated at the 2022 Academy Awards. Register. Virtual.

A longtime advocate for deaf rights, Matlin continues to break down barriers for herself and others through her acting, awareness, and writing. As she has so aptly stated, “The only thing I can’t do is hear. The rest is there for the taking.”

This program will be offered in ASL and translated through an interpreter. In partnership with Illinois Libraries Present.
